What is the OHIAT?

  • The One Health Information Systems Assessment Tool (OHIAT) is designed to help countries identify the necessary components of a One Health Information System based in the digital transformation and to set a baseline of where they currently stand and identify gaps for potential improvement.
  • The tool is designed to be used in country and to through either desk review and interviews or through a consensus building workshop, including multidisciplinary and multisectorial stakeholder groups.
  • The tool is being developed under the 5-year USAID-funded STOP Spillover consortium program, led by Tufts University, to enhance the capacity of priority countries in Africa and Asia to reduce the risk of viral spillover from animals to humans, but the scope of the tool is global.
